If It were someone like Chelsea, that did the same thing as Sharon did, they'd be rioting in the streets to throw her in the brig. Christ, her clothes must still smell like smoke.

Yes, we would. Who gives a fuck about Chelsea? Shes been on Y&R for what..a year? and we're supposed to care if she has a mental breakdown? Give me one reason to be invested in this character. Sharon has been on the show for almost 20 years, so yeah I am rooting for her and I do think she deserves all the butt kissing in the world from these writers.
